Zero Motorcycles officially announced today the launch of its 2010 product line of state of the art electric motorcycles, including the Zero S, DS, X, and MX all featuring added power, increased acceleration, and enhanced power pack technology.  The street legal models are equipped with performance enhancements that allow for higher top speeds and greater acceleration.

The entire lineup also features improvements in power pack technology and color graphics for the first time.  The 2010 launch makes Zero Motorcycles the first electric motorcycle company to launch four distinct models, worldwide. 

“Zero Motorcycles continues to blaze the path for electric motorcycle technology. Our engineering team has revamped, redesigned and tested four models that have considerable improvements for 2010. The result is more power on the street, a new look and an unparalleled riding experience,” said Gene Banman, CEO, Zero Motorcycles. “Demand in 2009 pushed us to aggressively expand our presence across the United States and around the world. The enhancements to this year’s models will resonate with both serious riders and casual motorcycle enthusiasts on a global level.”

Among the most significant advances on the 2010 Zero S and DS is the revolutionary Z-Force(TM) Air Induction System.  A platform for performance, this system allows Zero to produce more horsepower from lighter and more compact motors by increasing the airflow through the heart of the motor. Zero is also introducing a new throttle technology that modulates the increased power to provide riders with exacting control over the acceleration. All 2010 Zero Motorcycles are powered using Z-Force(TM) power pack technology with new and more precise cell monitoring.  The cumulative result of all this technology is a longer power pack life, more power, greater acceleration off the line and superior handling.
